Roasted Red Potatoes with Smoked Paprika

If I had to pick a favorite way to prepare potatoes, it would have to be roasting them. I love how they get perfectly crisp on the outside, but still soft on the inside. And I love seasoning them up real well too; potatoes can be like a blank canvas with endless possibilities with help from your spice cabinet.

These roasted potatoes not only look pretty thanks to a generous dash of smoked paprika, but they taste great. Smoked paprika has become one of my favorite spices to play with, it always gives food such a warm and subtle smoky chili flavor but without totally overpowering it.

Enjoy these Roasted Red Potatoes with Smoked Paprika as a simple and healthy side dish to burgers, grilled or braised meats or as a hearty addition to a vegetable plate.

A simple side dish enjoyed by all. The color and flavor given to the potatoes by the smoked paprika makes them extra special and delicious.

Ingredients

6-8 large red potatoes, skin on

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

big dash of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Cut your potatoes into 1-2" pieces, leaving the skin on. Place in a bowl.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder and chives. Pour over potatoes and gently toss until completely covered. Spread onto a cookie sheet and place in oven. Roast potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, gently tossing halfway through. Once done, generously sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper before serving.

I love making them and smoked paprika has become my go to seasoning for many dishes. I don’t use fresh chives, but do use a variety of dry spices. Like oregano, or parsley, even cilantro. Aggie, love your post & so happy to see we have this dish in common! Try it with eggs (like over easy eggs) you’ll love it!

These look amazing! just like I like it. Simple yet so tasty
I like simple food in general. Although I LOVE the kitchen, I’m a normal human being who also likes to just sit on the sofa and sip coffee haha!
Anyways! Love the photos too!
I actually have something similar on my blog but with this awesome spice I found in Costco. I use it so much!! maybe you have something similar in the US? you should try
Have a great weekend!http://www.mayaskitchen.info/2012/08/01/roasted-potatoes-and-sweet-potatoes-irresistable/

Made this tonight and they were great! We love roasted potatoes and have them often but haven’t thought of this combo. I used 1 TBS smoked olive oil too, for some the olive oil. Smelled and tasted so good. Thanks!
